Abstract:

India in particular and the world in general suffers from utilizing very little of human potential. The speaker, the Founder of Design for Change, believes we suffer from the "Do I have to?" syndrome. She will share with the audience what happens when learning environments are infected by the "I CAN" bug and how design thinking has been used to create empowered individuals who can be agents of change.

Design thinking is a human-centered, collaborative and optimistic mindset. It asserts that new and better things are possible and that each of us can make change happen. And this optimism is what is needed in education today. Change for good does not happen by chance; it is the result of a process that can be consciously nurtured and energized.<br />
